Daredevil sketch

Daredevil sketch with a fairly simple city background.  I usually go for more detail in the buildings I draw but I think it's worth trying some easier to draw designs that might be effective in a smaller character sketch like this.  This was done on a 9 x 12 sheet of bristol board.  I'm going to try and ink it as well.

More, MORE anatomy

More anatomy work

Figure practice!

Anatomy work

I recently attended C2E2 in Chicago.  I didn't set up a table but, as usual, brought some samples with to get feedback on and leave behind with some publishers.  I felt about as confident in the pages as I ever have.  Overall things went fairly well.  However, I got called out on a lot of anatomy issues.  It was a bit frustrating as I have been working on my anatomy drawing and construction and thought I was a little further along than I suppose I actually am.  However, I ultimately feel pretty good as it seems this is really the only glaring weakness I believe I have.  Not that there isn't a lot of other things I can work on but I now know what I have to focus on.

Magneto

I did a drawing of Magneto a few years.  Figured it would be a good inking exercise.  Some of it turned out relatively well, and some I really think I struggled with.  It was done mostly with a brush and I know using it can really make some great looking long, flowing lines.  But, I still use my wrist too much rather than my whole forearm or arm and it really puts a damper on my range of motion.

Dr. Strange (da return)

Yikes!  It's been a while since I paid much attention to this blog.  I think one of my problems has been that I have a habit of spending time explaining my process instead of just posting images.  While I do enjoy talking about what went into the creation of the piece, it is time consuming and makes it difficult to keep posting when time is a factor.  So, I'm going to try my best to keep this updated and will start with something I created recently.

Swamp Thing stages

I've been a bad blogger.  Bad, bad blogger.  I've enjoyed posting art and providing some information or backstory about said artwork but, once I missed a few pieces I had planned on posting about, things got out of hand and here we are.  Anyway, I'm trying to get back on the horse here and thought I'd start with a Swamp Thing drawing I finished recently.  Like I usually do I'll start with genesis of the idea and keep providing information up to the final piece.
